Michele and Cheryl's Rant #320
8/4/08 –
8/8/08
It is practically heartbreaking to
write the columns this week because this is the last week for
Passions. We didn't want to let our faithful readers down so we wanted
to write something.
Gwen continued to dig her own grave
Gwen really messed things up for herself after Theresa told Ethan what she'd
done. Gwen continued to drive it home that she was perfectly honest
with Ethan throughout the years that they were together. That was a
big mistake on her part. She knew that she and Rebecca were caught,
but she still continued to deny any wrongdoings. Gwen thought she was
out of the woods because Esme broke Sam's camera when she showed up in the
basement at the church. That was the perfect time to walk away from
Ethan so she could keep her dignity. Gwen saw that Ethan practically
forgot about her once he realized that Theresa was still alive. She
continued to let everyone know that she was married to Ethan and that they
were going to stay married. Once she finally convinced Ethan that they
were going to be together, she had to make a speech. Can you believe
that? She actually had to make a speech about how she loves Ethan and
deserved to be happy. She was right to feel that way, but that didn't
mean that she should talk to people who didn't care for her one way or the
other. Her stalling proved to be her downfall. Little Ethan
managed to fix the tape and yes she was busted. That could have been
avoided if Gwen didn't continue to drag her feet when she had her chance to
leave. We were always on Gwen's side, but she really shot herself in
the foot with her constant denials and stalling.
The writers rewrote Rebecca and
Gwen's confessions
We know that the writers wanted to give Ethan and Theresa fans a happy
ending, but that was ridiculous. We were watching when Gwen and
Rebecca were talking about their schemes. They only mentioned Juanita
and the tabloid scandal. Fast forward a week and they ended up
confessing to everything. Also, Rebecca was the one who mentioned how
they outted Ethan as a Bennett, but the playback was different. Gwen
ended up saying how they revealed Ethan's paternity to the tabloids.
Gwen and Rebecca also didn't say anything about JT or even Jonathan's
surgery. Gwen kept trying to stop Rebecca from talking so much so why
would she want to talk about everything they've done. That's
right. Theresa was supposed to get everything. It's a shame that
the writers forgot all about Gwen's fans when they decided to end this
story. They only cared about putting Ethan and Theresa back together
regardless of what they had to do to make that happen.
Sheridan and Ivy turned on Gwen
Sheridan and Ivy proved that they weren't really friends with Gwen after
all. They didn't take long to turn on her once Ethan found out about
Theresa being alive. Ivy had a reason to be upset with Gwen after the
truth came out. Our problem was how she as well as Sheridan turned on
Gwen before the truth was revealed. Let's start with what Sheridan did
to Gwen.
Sheridan had the gall to tell Gwen
to let Ethan be with Theresa. Sheridan was being such a
hypocrite. Sheridan had no problem trying to get Luis to leave Fancy,
but she expected Gwen to leave Ethan and Theresa alone. Sheridan also
called Gwen out when the truth came out. Sheridan called Gwen a b*tch.
She mentioned how Gwen was willing to let Marty die. Give us a
break. Sheridan was willing to let Vincent die to get Marty. She
was also willing to let everyone die just to get Luis. Now that she
knows her precious Marty could have died, she thought it was wrong to resort
to anything to be with the man you love.
Ivy was a hypocrite too. She
practically forced Ethan to be with Gwen, but she changed her mind
too. Ivy didn't care that Theresa was the one that Ethan loved.
She still didn't want him with her. We remember how she even went so
far as to frame Theresa and let Ethan think that she pushed her down the
stairs. She also caused Grace to lose her baby and her scheme ended up
getting Grace killed. Ivy was no one to judge Gwen for what she did
when her actions were worse. Now that she knows about Gwen, she
suddenly wants Ethan to be happy with Theresa. If that were true, why
didn't she want them together sooner?
Rebecca helped bury Gwen
Rebecca really helped bury Gwen. First, she couldn't get the camera
from little Ethan. A little boy was able to outsmart her and that was
the reason that Gwen was busted. Just when we thought Rebecca couldn't
ruined things for Gwen any more, we were wrong. Rebecca provided the
out that Ethan needed to be with Theresa. Rebecca blurted out that
Gwen is still married to some guy that she met in Vegas. Rebecca could
have kept that to herself. It's funny how that bit of information
never came up before the finale. Rebecca didn't even know where Gwen
was when she left town. Gwen also didn't want to to talk to her so
when could they gave gone to Vegas? Here's a thought. If Gwen
was married to another man while she was gone, couldn't he be Jonathan's
father? Ethan doesn't have to be his father. We were surprised
that Rebecca didn't blurt that out too.
The ending felt rushed
We felt a little gypped by the way the show ended. Everything seemed
so rushed and it wasn't right. The writers knew for months that the
show was being canceled so they had time to plan the finale. We think
that the writers should have started wrapping up the E/T/G storyline a few
weeks earlier. This was the longest storyline on the show and the
reveal was anti-climatic. The reveal seemed too rushed and that
wasn't right. The writers could have let those scenes play out for a t
least of couple of weeks. That way Ethan and Theresa could have had a
better wedding. They were the only couple that got married that were
obviously intended to be together since the beginning of the show, but they
got the shaft. They had the shortest ceremony and that's also the time
Fancy and Paloma chose to reveal that they were pregnant. Why didn't
they say something sooner? When were they going to say anything about
it? They didn't mention it when they were poisoned either.
Anyway, Ethan and Theresa fans were waiting a long time for their wedding
only for it to be a rushed ceremony. We didn't get a Shuis reunion,
but it would have been nice to see an originally intended couple have a
better wedding than that.
